| Abstract: | The genus Djombangia Bovien, 1926 is a monotypic genus with only one valid species Djombangia penetrans Bovien, 1926 under it. In this paper Djombangia mannai sp.n. obtained from the intestine of a siluriform fresh water fish Clarias batrachus Linnaeus, 1758 from Diamond Harbour, South-24 Parganas, West Bengal, India is described and illustrated. The species is characterized by a small, globular scolex with spherical apical organ; body without transverse grooves; absence of neck; absence of seminal receptacle and 300–350 testes that differentiates it from the only known species under this genus. |
